To all whomit me concern:

Be it known tnat '1', Jons- R. Prom, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shawnee, in the count-y of P ttawatomic and State of {)lrlahonni, have invented cer tain new and useful improvements in Oil Burners: and 1 do r irlarc the b llowing to be full, clear, and c3. ict description. of the invention, s hfli :1 viii enable oilmrs skilled in the M2 to \.\i aypcrtains LO make and I This inveni oil burners.

(hie object all the inn-Mimi is to provide a burner of this character having an improved construction and arrangement of heating and generating coil, whereby the oil passing therethrough will be thoroughly heated and converted into gas before being discharged from the burner.

Another object is; to provide an improved construction and arrangement of flame spreader whereby the flame may be deflected downwardly or forwardly to a greater or less extent, as desired.

5th these and other objects in view, the a; consists of certain novel features and the combination and p inch" of parts will be. more fully dliwsifzrihe 'i and clain'icd.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure l vc view of one of my improved gas get ling burners; Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view through a fire box and a portion of a stove showing two of my improved burners applied thereto; Fig. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view thereof; Fig. 4 is a central vertical cross sectional view through one of the burners showing in full and dotted lines the manner in which the flame deflecting spreader is adjusted to defleet the flame forwardly or rearwardly, as desired; Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the flame sprcaders removed from the burner; Fig. 6- is a similar view of the gas starting pan in which the il is burned for the preliminary heating of the coil. I

My improved burner comprises a pipe which is bent to form an upper horizontal tube 2, laterally projecting oppositely disposed side tubes 3, and a horizontally pro jecting tube 4, which is disposed immediately below and spaced a suitable distance from the upper tube 2. The end of the tube 4 is closed, and in the upper side thereof is relates to in'iprovcmcnts in I l l l l i a centrally disposed gas opening 5 through which the gas escapes and burns. The outer end of the pipe 1 is adapted to be connected 'with an oil conducting pipe 6 projecting from the stove and leading to an oil reser voir T or other source of supply. In the pipe (3 is arranged an oil controlling or cutoii' valve 8, wl'iereby the fiow of the oil to the burner is controlled.

Loosely connected to and hanging pendant from the lower tube 4 of the burner is a generating pan 9, which is preferably of oblong shape, and extends from one end to the other of lhe tube 4 as shown. The ends of the pan are extended upwardly to form supporting lugs 10 which are apcrturcd to receive the tube 4, whereby the pan is supported on or hangs from said tube in position to receive the priming charge of oil which is permitted to run into the pan from the burner opening 5, and which is ignited and burns in the pan, primarily heating the coil and. turning the oil therein into gas, which, when ignited at the burner spreader will continue to heat the coil that the oil flowing thcrethrough will be thoroughly converted into gas before being discharged from the burner opening.

Arranged above the lower, burner opening 11, whereby when the gas from the opening 5 is ignited, its flame will be s read and caused to come into contact wit the side members of the burner tube, and whereby the flame may be deflected rearwardly or forwardly, as desired. The spreader 11 comprises a flat disk 12, which is preferably of circular shape, and has formed on its upper side a supporting lug 13 having in its lower portion a transverse opening 14 to receive the upper tube of the pipe 1 on which said spreader is pivotally supported.

To the upper end of the lug 13 is pivotally connected the inner end of an adjusting r0 or lever 15 which extends downwardly through one side of the fire box and is provided on its outer end with an operating handle 16. On the rod 15 is arran ed a rack 17, the teeth of which are adapter? to be engagod with the lower edge of the slot 18 in the side of the stove through which the rod passes. By pivotally supporting the spreader and providing the adjusting rod 15, it will be seen that the spreader may be rocked or tilted in one direction or the other to deflect tube 4 and the by means of the rack 17 on the lever the spreader. may be held in its adjusted position.

By constructing my improved burner as herein shown and described, it will be seen that it may be readily applied to a heating or cook stove or furnace, and when applied to a cook stove, two or more of the same may be arranged in the fire box thereof, as shown 2 in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

- the construction and operation It will be noted that by providing each burner with an oil controlling valve 8, one or both of the burners may be used.

From the foregoing descri tion, taken in connection with the accompan j ing drawings,

of the invention will be readily understood without rcquiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my what I claim is:

1. An oil burner comprising a pipe bent invention,

to form a coil, said coil having upper and lower horizontally so a] disposed tubes and laterly projecting side tubes connected therewith, a generating pan secured toand supported by said lower tube, a flame spreader pi'votally secured to the upper. tube, a spreader adjusting lever pivotally connected to the spreader, and means on said lever whereby the latter may be locked to hold the spreader in its adjusted position.

2. The combination with a stove having generating coil having upper and lower horizontally disposed tubes, and laterally projecting side tubes connected therewith, said lower tube having therein a burner opening, a flame spreader comprising a=disk having. ther on' an apertured lug whereby the same is ivotally connected to said upper tube over t e burner opening inthe-lower tube, a spreader adjustin rod pivotally connected at its inner em? to said lug and adapted to project through said ofienmg in the stove, and-a rack arranged on the outer end of the rod adapted to engage one edge of the opening in the stove, whereby the rod is locked and the spreader held in its adjusted position.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN R. PRING.
